I Love to bake and I have my ingredients stored in lovely glass containers that are both easy to get to and beautiful. The one thing that has been missing though has been the “perfect” SCOOP for my flour and sugar containers.
The Perfect Batch of Ginger Bread Dough!
1 cup sugar
2 tsp. ginger
1 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 cup butter softened
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1 cup unsulfered molasses
3/4 tsp. vanilla
3/4 tsp lemon extract
4-6 cups flour
note: The original recipe I received, I found was too soft to work with and I
had to keep adding flour. I use bread flour and this might be the difference. Just work with it.
I roll these out with a French rolling pin with 3/8″ bands so they are nice and FAT. I cook them at 350 degrees until firm, about 10-12 min. My husband and children love these because they are chewy and yummy! I even let them eat them for breakfast.
